Activities
Monthly Meetings
On the
second Tuesday of each month we have an informal, friendly
meeting at the Maritime Museum of Queensland. This
commences with a barbecue ($10 per head) which is a
great opportunity to seek out advice, recruit volunteers, find out what's going on,
or just 'chew the fat',
Workshop Days
On the first Sunday of each
month we get together at the Maritime Museum workshop to work
together on our current project, usually restoring or refurbishing a
wooden boat that has been donated to the museum. The museum workshop
is a wonderful resource with machine tools (some owned by WBAQ)
available for members to use for their own
projects.
Messabouts
Our 'messabouts' sub-committee
organises regular events 'on the water' in a range of locations
to suit a wide variety of different boats. These are held on Moreton
Bay, Brisbane River, Lake Cootharaba or other lakes and creeks
around Brisbane.
Regattas
As an association we participate
on various regattas and other events organised by other groups.
These typically include Bribie Island, Caloundra, Tweed Heads,
Flinders Day (Coochiemudlo
)
Maritime
Museum
WOODEN BOATS @MARITIME MUSEUM
is a major event organised in collaboration
with the Maritime
Museum
in which WBAQ members will
bring their boats for public display in the museum grounds.
